The OTS Corporation is located in the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains of Western North Carolina in a suburb of Asheville. The 110,000 square foot facility houses three divisions; the PDQ oven manufacturing facility, the component assembly plant and the Orthotic Central Fabrication facility. OTS Central Fabrication was founded in 1978 by Timothy Pansiera, CO, in Deerfield Beach, Florida. It quickly forged a reputation as a high-end provider of orthotic devices and is still a leader in central fabrication. By 1983 a second division was created to produce the popular StepLock knee joint. A few years later, the first thermoformable ankle joint, Wafer Ankle, now the Integrated Ankle, was introduced. In 1990, in an effort to accommodate its rapid growth, OTS moved to Barnardsville, North Carolina where it soon opened a third division to manufacture the PDQ Quartz Infrared Ovens, widely regarded as the “Gold Standard” of ovens in the industry. In the year 2000, OTS acquired a manufacturing facility in Bradenton, Florida to handle the increasing demand for orthotic component production. This facility is known as “OTS of Florida” and is responsible for all of the heavy machining with final assembly done in North Carolina. By 2003 OTS had once again outgrown it facilities and had to relocate to a larger home. The new address is a sprawling 110,000 square feet of manufacturing space. In 2009, OTS was bought by Fillauer Companies, Inc., and is operated as a separate division. Come and grow with us!
